- Creating a College Bound Culture From Freshman Year
Dr. Ashley Johnson – Detroit College Access Network
Arianna Wilson – Tufts University
Joe Almazan – United Independent School District
The goal of creating a college bound culture is to ensure that all students are prepared for a full range of post-secondary options. A college bound culture from Freshman year of high school begins when college is a visual reality, the school staff is collectively committed to a students’ college goals, school networks promote and support college options, and there is a dedicated partnership model between counselors, administrators, colleges, and universities. Come learn more from our panelists on their efforts to encourage and create a college bound culture from Freshman Year.
- Building Your Next Freshman Class through Engagement with Real Time Inquiries
Rick Bischoff – Case Western University
Prior to a pandemic, many institutions relied heavily on single point in time list buys. Yet, student interest can come to your institution in ways that produce more targeted and more timely communications, including web form submissions or even through Parchment’s network of millions of learners researching their next step. How you engage with interested learners impacts the decision they ultimately make, and the importance of connecting with students at the time they are most open to hearing from you has proven to be a key tactic for retaining and converting student interest. Join this session to learn more about how institutions have adapted their existing processes to incorporate real-time communication strategies.
Summer months are certainly not idle, but a time to prepare for the coming academic year. Evaluation of current processes might reveal a need to better automate incoming academic records for admissions as an opportunity to create efficiencies. Or, maybe you’re just curious what the differences are between Receive Lite and Premium and why over 1,000 institutions have decided to upgrade. Join this session to get a tour and hear from institutions about how they have streamlined their process using Receive Premium.
Bringing together K12 and Higher Education practitioners to discuss how their expansive and intertwined roles facilitate learner success. If you’re looking to gain insight into how we can work together to remove barriers for learners applying to college, this would be a great discussion for you.

- Keynote: The Agile College, How Institutions Successfully Navigate Demographic Changes
Dr. Nathan Grawe – Carleton College
Demographic changes promise to reshape the market for higher education in the next 15 years. Hear from Dr. Nathan Grawe who will argue that colleges and universities can mitigate the effects through exploring successful avenues of response, including: recruitment initiatives, retention programs, revisions to the academic and cocurricular program, institutional growth plans, retrenchment efforts, and collaborative action.
Imagine this, your high school or district has partnered with Parchment for electronic transcripts. With real-time tracking for students, you no longer hear, “Where’s my transcript?”. And because you’re an innovator, you’re not only sending all verification requests to us, you’re also offering students additional record types.

- The Competing Benefits of Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment for Learners Seeking College Admission
